RST-135E Robotic Mount w/Encoders

Description

The RST-135 uses a new type of gear called a strain wave gear. Due to the strong force provided by the strain wave gear and motor, a counterweight is not needed. The mount weights only 3.3kg (7.27lbs), but can carry a payload up to 13.5kg (29.76lbs). Rainbow Astro calls this breakthrough mount a Weightless Mount. The volume and weight of the mount is no longer a problem when travelling for astrophotography.

Features

New! - Renishaw Encoders

• Very low periodic error of +/- 2.5 arcseconds peak to peak
  
• Same size and weight as the original RST-135
• Shoot "unguided" at focal lengths up to 500 mm

Compact and light

• The mount weighs only 3.3kg (7.27lbs). You do not need a separate bag for the mount: Just put it in your backpack.

Equatorial / Alt-Az dual Mount

• You can easily change between Equatorial mode and Alt-Az mode, allowing for both photographic and visual use of your instrument.

No counterweight needed

• You do not need a counterweight to use the mount and it can carry a payload up to 13.5kg (29.76lbs).

Beauty of a machined product

• Feel the beauty of a machined product. All parts of RST-135 are made by machining a solid block. The RST-135 is the perfect premium mount.

Strain wave gear

• The strain wave gear is a new type of gear that is widely used in industrial robots. There is no backlash.

Built-in WiFi

• This mount has built-in WiFi in the hand controller. You can control and auto-guide the mount without running a cable to your PC.

Built-in GPS receiver

• The built-in GPS receiver eliminates the need to enter your location during each session or if you travel with the mount.

Built-in Home sensor

• The home sensor finds the mechanical origin by itself. This is useful for remote observation.
